Yes, casually re-tweeting false statistics clearly proves a deeply ingrained malicious racism -- he should have used the real statistics instead:

What you have posted are not the correct stats. In your stats, the Hispanics are counted as a part of the White population, thereby inflating the white on black crime rate (there is a lot of hispanic on black crime occurring in cities such as Los Angeles and San Francisco). I don't know whether Trump has used the correct stats or not, but they look closer to the truth.

You're correct in that the white crime rate is enormously inflated, but as far as I know there aren't any comprehensive statistics that take hispanics into account. The FBI is generally the best source for national crime data, and they categorize all hispanics as broadly "white", but even if they didn't, many of the municipal police departments that contribute to the FBI's database do. This deliberate obfuscation is undoubtedly done for political purposes as well. Even the most emasculated of neoliberal fuckboi serfs, in the most stringently thought-policed of progressive fiefdoms, would begin to question things if Rachael Maddow told them that their beloved minorities are committing 97% of all violent crime.
